Daily Life - New Guy in Town (C0011)
A: Oh, I don’t know if you heard, but someone moved
into that old house down the road.
B: Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yes-
terday as he was moving in. His name is Armand.
A: Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.
B: Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’ve got
a bad feeling about him.
A: Really? Why?
B: Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming
gift, but Armand started acting really weird, and
then he practically kicked me out! I tried to, sort of,
peek into his house, but everything was so dark
inside that I couldn’t really get a good look.
